We wake up with heavy overcast, a sprinkle and quite a bit of wind. It’s not the best of days and we were lucky that we tied up Dotti while packing up to leave, otherwise we would not have found her.
Still we look around the area and see interesting things on the quiet beach.
It’s amazing what a keen eye can find, although I suspect that this wasn’t completely formed without the help of a pretty feminine foot.
There are enough other nice things to see though.
Then just before we drive off the sun peeks through the clouds.
Alright, alright, when I finally got the camera it looked more like this, but it was really as clear as my doctored result.
We check that Dotti is on board and drive off.
We drive the short route from Diana’s Basin to St Helen’s Point and stop at several spots to check for kiting opportunities and – lacking that – enjoy the vista.
Then we go to St Helen’s where we stop for groceries, fuel and to get a document copy witnessed by a Justice of Peace. Because she worked at LJ Hooker she offered a house with it but, considering we like to be living closer to the children, we politely decline. We do pay with kindness and leave behind some chocolates for the office.
Our final stop for the day is one of the bush campgrounds along the Bay of Fires. The facilities are basic but there’s plenty of space all close to the beach. And a very interesting coast line.
Meanwhile the wind has picked up to quite hard and also the clouds have returned.
Marjo and Nossi take a walk along the beach.
And when they return the camp site is all set up.
And it’s time for nibbles and a drink.
Of course also something nice for the dogs.
That evening the wind picks up to near gale force.
A great day.
